DUST-COLLETING SHIELD HEATING-RADIATORS.

object'toprovide a defleeting shield to -be' 'adapted to steam radiatorsor hot water radiators, provided with means for collecting the dustwhich ascends in the current of heated air generated by contact of theat'- mospliere in the apartment with the heat radiatori; and -is animprovement upon United States Letters `Patent No. 1,009,195,

issued upon my applicationrNovember '21, 1911.

1n the drawingsFigurelis a perspectiveI view of a device embodying myinvention in place upon a radiator, a portion of the top of thedeflectorbeing broken away. lFig. 2 is a transverse vertical view .in mid-sectionof the dust collecting trough and the upper portion ofthe deflector.

In the practice of my invention 1 employ the deicctor 3 having the endwalls t and a top 5 upon which the slab 15 rests. The trough (3 isprovided with the finger catch 7 and the end bars 8, said bars 8 beingcontoiired as shown in Fig. 2, having the fiat bearing surface 9 at therear extremity, and the curved bearing surface 10V on the upper edge ofthe bar 8 and toward the rear thereof, whioh'bearing surfaces 9 and 10alter-U nately contact with the flat spring' 11 which is secured to theinner face of the rear wall of the deficctor 3v (see Fig. 2). By meansof the contact between the spring 11 and bar 8, the trough 8 is normallyheld closed with its front rolled edge 12 in close contact with theunder surface of the top 5; so that the particles of dust arising fromthe coil 13 arc carried over the rear of the trough 8, which is formedby the pintle 14, and are deposited in said trough 8.

When it is desired to remove the dust particles 'so accumulated inthe,trough 8, the trough is depressed by pressure exerted on the fingercatch 7, so as'to be thrown into I the positionindicated by dotted linesin Fig.

Specification of Letters Patent.

and has for its with the face. of the Hat'spr'ing 11. The dustv side ofthe finger catch 7, when the pressure of the spring 11 will thrust itinto its closed position illustrated. in Fig. .2, and hold it there:

Having thus described my invention, what 1 claim as new and desire tohave secured to ine by the grant of Letters Patent, is

1. 1n a dust collecting shield for radiators, the combination of adelector, a trough pivn otally mounted in the top of the deilector, aflat spring mounted on the inner side ot the deflector, and a barmounted in said trough and contoured at its rear end'to have contactwith said spring and by engagement with said spring to hold the troughin open or closed position. 4

2. In a dust collecting shield for radiators, tliecombination of adeilector adapted to be mounted on a radiator and having a rear wall, atop and two side walls; a dust col lecting trough pivotally mountedtransversely between the side. walls of the de- Hector and having itsouter ed e normally top of the rear wall of the deiiector; and a barforming an end of the trough and contoured to provide bearing surfacesto receive the pressure of-said spring when the trough is in opened orclosed position.

3. In a dust collecting shield Jfor radiators, the combination of adetlertor adapted to be mounted on a radiator andv having a rear wall, atop and two side walls; a dust col lccting` trough pivotally mountedtransversely between the side walls of the detlector and having itsouter edge normally in contact with the under surface of said top; afiat spring secured to the inner face of the rear wall ot the detlcctor;and a bar forming an end of the trough and contoured to pioor closedposition.

1n testimony whereof, 1 have signed Imy* name to this specification, inpresence et two subscribing witnesses.
